One raw material that LD Davis uses in its animal glue products is pharmaceutical scrap gelatin. Before the 1970’s, most gelatin used in animal glue, or protein adhesive, was extracted from the bones and hides of pigs and cattle. Today, a significant portion of the gelatin used in protein adhesives is from pharmaceutical and nutritional scrap gelatin, either in soft gel netting or hard capsule form.

Reports say that good old Phil saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter….we’ll see!

New Year’s Resolutions are notoriously broken by most, but we’ve decided to make a list of promises we know we can keep.  The proof lies in our 85 years of uninterrupted animal hide glue manufacturing in the United States.

At LD Davis, we pride ourselves on thinking outside the box and our ability to customize our existing animal glue formulas to meet our clients’ needs.  We are also never afraid to create a new glue formula or a new custom adhesive for a new or difficult application.
